AI Summary
This bill expands access to California state parks for veterans and military personnel by modifying existing provisions and introducing new ones. Specifically, it removes the requirement that a veteran must have served in a declared war to be eligible for a free park pass, provided they have a service-connected disability of 50% or greater, were a prisoner of war, or received a Congressional Medal of Honor, and have an honorable discharge. Additionally, the bill mandates the creation of a discount pass for all veterans and current active duty or reserve military personnel, entitling them to 15% off the cost of using all state park facilities.
